Most Cermets, which normally have high thermal conductivity and high thermal shock resistance, comprises of ceramic & metallic components of ______________ percent respectively?

Correct answer: D. 80 and 20

  • A. 60 and 40
  • B. 20 and 80
  • C. 50 and 50
  • D. 80 and 20

Explanation

Most cermets contain a ceramic phase as the major component, commonly about 80%, bonded with roughly 20% metal. The ceramic provides hardness and heat resistance, while the metal improves toughness and thermal-shock behavior.
